Initial information
In criminal law, we have an emergency service that is responsible for providing legal assistance to persons who have been arrested or are in custody pending trial. The emergency service is provided by lawyers who are trained in criminal law and specially prepared to assist arrested persons.
If you are arrested, you have the right to contact a lawyer immediately and to seek advice from them. The lawyer can help you defend yourself against allegations and charges and assist you in ensuring that your rights are protected. If you are in pre-trial detention, the lawyer can also try to ensure that your detention conditions are improved if necessary.
The emergency service is available 24 hours a day and can usually be on the scene quickly to advise and represent you. It is important that you contact a lawyer as quickly as possible to get immediate legal assistance and protect your rights.
